The way I wanted to strangle Lara as if I were Homer Simpson
God, this was so heartbreaking but I'm happy that Katekyo ended up realizing he's not broken and that he's completely valid. While I'm not sex-repulsed like him, I could still relate a lot to many of his feelings; like how he mentioned giving grandchildren to his parents, people asking REALLY intrusive questions and think it's completely okay, or someone saying it's weird that he hasn't dated anyone despite his age... it all hit very close to home.
I'm so glad this game exist 'cause it shows REALLY WELL just how much acephobia there is in the world and how some comments/question might not seem like a "big deal" to the people who say/ask them but they ARE a big deal to the ace-spec person receiving them.
I hope Katekyo can be happy with himself as he is and stop trying to please his parents instead of doing what he wants 🫂

FERGRF SHE WOULD DESERVE IT!!
And I'm glad you managed to connect with Katekyo! I indeed used a lot of my own ace experience to write him, because, for some reason, when you explain not feeling attracted to anyone, people feel entitled to ask you the most intrusive questions, as if you were some circus animal.
And I agree, people tend to say it's no big deal, but in eneral, try to ask them the same questions, and they'll be offended lol (for example, try asking a straight guy how he can really know he's straight if he never tried anything with a boy; or worse, tell him he just needs to find the right boy to turn him bi...).
I can't promise the route to self-acceptance and setting boundaries will be an easy one for Katekyo, but I can promise he'll eventually get there! My boy deserves a life full of cakes and peace!!
And thanks for trying this game, Pri, it means a lot!! And thanks for sharing a bit of your experience with it, it makes it all worth it!
